Transitioning from vegetarian to vegan

I become a vegetarian for health reason. I relocated from Chicago to the midsouth six years ago this month. When I relocated I had made up my mind I would go strictly vegetarian. I had always had an interest in being a vegetarian. It intrigued me. I found myself exposed to the lifestyle more and more as I went through college and grad school. I have stuck  with it and had some bumps in the road honestly. So the new journey is going vegan.  That has been challenging for me for a number of reasons. Let’s start with I had let go of drinking milk years ago. I am not even really in love with cheese actually.  I find myself struggling in social situations. I do not buy or cook with any dairy products or meat. I have been in situation where I have had no food options.  That has been hard for me to deal with.  I am still learning how to deal with these situations and always being prepared. My goal for this year is to become a TOTAL VEGAN  bY the end of the year.  So we are starting this month with this vegan plan.

This blog is my journey into not only becoming a better person, better writer, and a better Christian; but adding my voice to the conversation around veganism.
